Advent is here!

Please take a peek at the whole image, and the growing Advent Calendarhere

December isn't all about illustration - writers we want you to join in too. Can you comment on our advent images with a tweetable micro story? @Words8Pictures and @SCBW!-BI will tweet those that fit into 140 characters with your twitter handle and #W8PAdvent.

Do you have a Tweetable micro story for

Catherine's illustration?

Post it in the comments and we'll tweet it with#W8PAdvent and your Twitter handle

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one. Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
